    Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns.

    Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns. Different landscape with the farms and greenhouses and coffee plantations in rolling hills. Waterfalls. Loved the drifting clouds coming up the valleys in the evening. Cool evenings and warm days.

    We went to La Paz Waterfall gardens and it was an amazing place. You could easily spend an entire day there. Also the area is known for strawberries. We bought some from a roadside stand and they were delicious.

    This was a great stopping place for us and is close to La Paz, Poas Volcano, and Doka Coffee Plantation. We stayed here after visiting La Paz Waterfall Gardens (which is worth the cost to visit), and then just had a short drive to Poas the following morning. We only stayed one night, and didn't get to visit the town, but its location is perfect for a stopover while visiting the nearby sites.

    The villas were adorable!

    The villas were adorable! We loved our short stay but the wifi would not let us let our families know we had arrived safely. If you plan to leave early to travel more, the check out time is 9 am- not 7am! The staff member who spoke English was very kind and accommodating!

    There is nothing about the Peace Lodge that could have been better. From the location, to the staff, to the food, everything is absolutely top notch. The waterfall gardens were so much more than I expected and just the sounds and sights from the balcony of our stunning room were amazing. Somehow, the staff even helped my husband find someone to make my favorite cake for a birthday surprise. 100% worth the money to stay at this stunning place.

    LOVED this place!!!! After finding out (by driving there) we could not hike to the Poas volcano (you need an online permit) we discovered Villa Calas had THEIR OWN hiking trails - so we did that instead! great little hikes right there! Staff was SUPER friendly, food - some of the best we have had and the cabin was so cute PLUS a fire place for the cool nights. Great location for the La Paz waterfalls and gardens

    Excellent hotel situated on a beautiful piece of property close to great nearby attractions like Poas Volcano and La Paz Waterfall Gardens. Breakfast and dinner were both delicious and the staff was very accommodating for all of our needs. Whether seeing local sights, hiking on the hotel's trails, playing complimentary games, or entertaining the hotel cat Misinga it was a great stay!

    This hotel is a heaven on earth. I would definitely recommend it if you are in the area. The rooms are spacious and quite. Breakfast was great but you should also try their dinner menu - everything we tried was delicious. There are many areas in the property where you can enjoy the views and nature. Try their own walking trails on the property!

    Nice beautiful location near La paz garden. Come with a friendly dog who went on trek with us! My kid said it was his best time in Costa Rica. Easy to drive and park the car in beautiful house. Very friendly host, who communicated on whatsapp on what to do. Eg breakfast tips etc No mosquito due to high altitude!

    Lovely location, with trails around the property. Independent family run hotel. For warmer days there were outdoor facilities (BBQ grill, swimming pool, games). Onsite restaurant was open for dinner and again for breakfast. There was also a fridge in reception with water/soft drinks/milk/snacks for purchase.
